U11 Predicting the Weather

What comes after evaporation during the water cycle?
How does this occur?

• Water evaporates into water vapor
• Water vapor condenses and forms a  cloud
• Water precipitates to the ground
• Water runs down into the hydrosphere

What is Weather?

• A measure of water vapor in the air

• The amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water vapor needed to reach saturation.

• The condition of Earths atmosphere at a certain time and place.

• The temperature at which more condensation then evaporation occurs.

How does the water cycle influence the weather?

• It determines how much moisture is in the air

• It determines if it will rain or snow

• It determines if there will be school or not

• The water cycle isn't involved with the weather

Three Earths would fit inside the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. This large area on Jupiter is actually a huge region where the atmosphere spins in a direction opposite to Jupiter's rotation. Based on this evidence, what would you claim the Great Red Spot is?

• a giant high-pressure system

• a massive low-pressure system

• a giant warm air mass moving toward a cool air mass

• two huge warm air masses that are moving toward each other

Altitude and air pressure are inversely related. As air pressure increases, altitude

• increases

• decreases

• becomes zero

• stays the same
